Pariots? It seems London's #Reform Assembly Members can't even bring themselves to the city's annual Rememberance Service.
Conspicuous in their absence rather than commemorating those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

Really proud to deliver my first London Assembly report alongside Dawn Butler MP in Parliament:
Trusting London to Deliver, our place in the government's Devolution reforms
Really interesting discussion amongst our collated experts backing our calls for extra fiscal powers for London.
🍛 This month marks a 3️⃣rd year of Free School Meals for London Primaries thanks to Mayor @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social
I visited St. Matthew's C of E School in #Yiewsley to see what it means for pupils and teachers... 👇🏼
#Hillingdon #Ealing #FreeSchoolMeals
London is at a crossroads. After 25 years of #Devolution, the time is now for the next step.
Londoners want stronger powers: from housing & health to fiscal freedom inc a Tourism Levy, to invest in our city & deliver better services.
Trust London to deliver for our capital & the country.
EXCLUSIVE: Not only have the Tories depleted #Hillingdon Council's reserves to the lowest in London... 7 months into the new financial year and they are the ONLY borough NOT to have published their draft accounts... 💷📉🧐

According to a YouGov survey commissioned by #AssemblyOversight, what percentage of Londoners would support a tourism tax? What percentage believe London Assembly powers should be strengthened or maintained? www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w... @bassammahfouz.bsky.social
After 14 years of Tory cuts to the Met Police, Labour's Mayor & Government are delivering record investment—finally turning the tide.
Scrapping borough front counters breaks the promise of the New Met for London plan.
This isn’t the policing Londoners voted for.

Sign for the new low traffic zone in central Paris. Red circle in white sign.
So much space for cycling. 2 lanes for bikes and one for cars on Rue de Rivoli
Day trip to Paris for @londonassembly.bsky.social Oversight Committee to see the difference @annehidalgo.bsky.social has made to the city streets as Mayor and talk cities and devolution with @oecdgovernance.bsky.social, @pbloche.bsky.social First Deputy Mayor of Paris and Prof Edouard Dequecker.
Wonderful civic mass this morning at Ealing Abbey, focused on the key message of peace 🕊️
Great to meet woodland management experts from the Woodland Trust & GLA and show them the amazing #Ruislip woods #London’s 1st National Nature Reserve @Hillingdon @bassammahfouz.bsky.social
There once was a lad called Rob
Who was desperate to get a new job
In London he did appear
To spread hatred and fear
But fare dodging's down, so he's wrong, poor sod!
